Shall we cheer or shall we rant (Minnesota)

nevermind, time for bed

Same thing every game. We came out on top of this one.

I think we'll need more than 17 next week

Agreed. Eighteen 12 OZers should be just about right!

Cheer for Stanley, he has talent for sure. Fant played great and Butler has earned more carries imo. Brian had typical flashes of decent plays but when he reverts to forcing the run we look really bad.

I'll take it

JJ had a helluva game.

And I'm not just referring to his no longer being the punt returner!

 

[DDThompson]

Cheer. It’s a win. Over Minnesota.

But not a lose-your-voice-cheer. Not even a scratchy throat cheer. Eight games in and the offense still looks anywhere from mostly bad or fighting itself to a glimmer of hope a couple times a game.

Not impressed.

Beating MN....it must be done but doesn't elicit the jollies as it is expected. Now OSU, WI.....

Not much to be impressed with on the offensive end. There are some plays there to be made, players need to make them.

Might need more than triple that....

True.
More dropped balls. More missed blocks. More missed holes/cutbacks.

How many plays to Wadley in the slot? To the wing? How many misdirection rushes?

Did we go back to the play that Wadley scored a TD — trips right rush left hat-on-hat with Wadley vs. safety?

Coaches have to “execute” too.

 

[DDThompson]

Maybe.

But that’s what everyone was saying leading up to the PSU game too.

Saddest indictment of this team yet.

 

[mrolympia]

300 yards of offense, not something to be proud of. This defense deserves better.

 

[Bluesman]

This is an average team; they beat another average team today. That'a a lot better than losing to them. The offense is below average and the defense is above average which gives you an average team. In true Kirk fashion his team once again played to the level of competition. I think they probably win 6 this year but I wouldn't be suprised if to get there they lose to Purdue and Nebraska but beat Wisconsin. That would be classic Kirk.

 

[Caddy]

We are not an average team, we are a bad team that played another bad team, and won. This is one of the worst Iowa offenses I have seen in a long time. There are simply no playmakers, no athletes. Just nothing. I don't agree with the statement we played to the level of the competition either. That would imply that we are far better than Minnesota, which we aren't.

Completely disagree. You can be frustrated with how the team has played all you want but to say there's zero athletes is just false.

Wadley, ISM, Fant, & TJ are all good athletes for their positions. Better than what Iowa’s usually has. Each one of them tease and then don’t make plays that can be made

That there is hilarity
